And here's a snippet from "7th Street" (2003) ...

Great to see people who have been documented the neighborhood for years getting their films screened. I can't make it tonight but is there a place where we can see the photos and films?
ReplyDeletedamn! i'm out of town tonight. i've seen 7th st, but not the other two... is there any other way to see them? please let us know if you can find out
ReplyDeleteThis was a pretty good documentary, it's on Netflix, worth the rent for sure.
ReplyDeleteWhat's sad, and this three minute clip captures it, is how diverse our neighborhood used to be with regards to age and race.
Where did all these people go?
I'll see if I can find out how's organizing this... wish there was more notice. I didn't see the flyers yesterday...
ReplyDeleteAnd too bad something like this couldn't be featured in Tompkins Square Park...
Lux, I dont know what planet you were living on but the LES that I grew up on (Ave D in the sixties)was overwhelmingly NOT diverse. It was poor, Brown (Puerto-Rican) and Black with a sprinkling (10? 15?)of older white people (those who were too poor to flee like my family) and violent.
ReplyDeleteThe only 'diversity' one was likely to see was Ave A and above.
